JC Convenience Store

This convenience store was recently bought out by an Indian owner and I had NO idea. I just happened to be in need of a couple of groceries on Christmas Day, and JC Convenience Store just happened to be one of the only places open downtown Calgary.
When I first walked in, I was a little overwhelmed. The store is quite tiny & claustrophobic and it’s not as organized as I’d like. Stuff is kinda everywhere, and it’s in disarrayed piles on disarrayed shelves.
But when I started to look closely, I realized that this store has got EVERYTHING when it comes to convenience food. Everything from a Kit Kat bar, to Indian tea biscuits!
Because this store is now owned by an Indian, and because Mirchi, an Indian restaurant, is located right across the street, JC Convenience now carries Indian spices, lentils and groceries! It’s the ONLY place downtown that does! Imagine my delight when I realized that I no longer have to take impromptu trips over to the N.E. when I run out of a little of this, or a little of that. I mean, they even had tapioca for God’s sake! They are STOCKED.
JC Convenience store has got quite an extensive selection of convenience goods and carrying Indian groceries is really the icing on the cake. Try to see past the disorganization and the mess, and you will surely find that needle in the haystack! Happy Shopping!
